After studying Teacher's new article published at the beginning of this year, I understood that all of our relatives came to this world for Falun Dafa. I realized that I should clarify the truth to them and save them. Since I anxiously wanted to succeed in clarifying the truth to my relatives, I kept talking and talking with them. Of course, my efforts turned out to be futile. I calmed down and looked inside my heart. Then I realized that my anxiety was an attachment. We should have a firm base in cultivation, no matter what kinds of things we are doing. We should be compassionate to others with a pure heart. Although we clarify the truth in order to save sentient beings, we cannot be mad at them or impatient with them. This is a manifestation of demon nature, not the righteous behavior of a cultivator.

I heard that many practitioners were arrested recently while distributing materials. This had a negative effect on Fa-rectification. It is difficult to distribute truth-clarifying materials in some areas. A few practitioners are even afraid of practicing and of studying Fa. Drawing on my personal experience, I recognized that some practitioners had the attachment of doing something, and this led to the tribulations. For example, when some practitioners went to a subdivision of a city to distribute flyers, they tried to give one to every family, hoping that everyone in the subdivision would receive a flyer. Some human feelings filled their minds. Some considered distributing flyers as a task. They hoped to send out all of the flyers in their hands and felt relaxed after they completed the assignment. Some practitioners developed an attachment of comparison when they read about other practitioners' experience of distributing 1000 copies of truth-clarifying materials in one hour.

I know a practitioner who has done a wonderful job of distributing Dafa materials since July 20,1999. He has quietly done many things for Dafa. He cannot ride a bicycle. He and his wife and son (his wife and his son are not practitioners), take several types of truth-clarifying materials with them whenever they go out to do something, visit their relatives, or go shopping. They do this every day. Many droplets make an ocean. The distribution of a few truth materials won't attract the notice of evil people. Yet, these materials can have a powerful effect. I think that it is a responsible act to get rid of our attachments when we distribute flyers. How do we enlighten to this situation? Teacher said, "When a tribulation arrives, if you, a disciple, can truly maintain an unshakable calm or be determined to meet different requirements at different levels, this should be sufficient for you to pass the test."
